Abstract
Using nine criteria of adjustment on 116 elderly women living in large institutions, Mr. Ju-Shu Pan compares the group with a larger noninstitutionalized group investigated by Dr. Cavan of the social science research council and on the basis of statistical evaluation concludes that the adjustment of the institutionalized person on the whole is less satisfactory.Keywords
